THE NEW YORKER German company, and when there's any motor trouble we have parts here from Brazil like that." He snapped his fingers. The Gauleiter passed us again and nodded. The Herr Doktor smiled and said to me, "You know, they have been very nice to us refugees since we are here. I went to the Consulate the other day about some papers, and the secretary there offered me a chair and said, 'Herr Doktor Gottschalk, if there is anything we can do for you, turn to us with con- fidence. We have instructions from Ber- lin to extend to you and other refugees any aid that is possible.' My son is even going to the Colegio Alemán, the best school here." T HE Herr Doktor had a nice house in the centre of Quito, and invited me to go home with him. On the way home, he bought the C omercio and quickly read the headlines. "You see," he said, "Adolf is no fool! Did you listen to that marvellous speech he made the other night about stopping the war?" The house was orderly and the fur- nishings were those of a well-to-do Ger- man household. A picture of Hinden- burg hung in the dining room, and a mediocre oil painting of an Austrian ar- tillery battery hung over the Herr Dok- tor's bed, an immense feather bed which he had been allowed to bring over with him, along with all his books and the family silver and porcelain.

The boy, Kurt, came in while I was there, clicked his heels, bent low and suddenly from the hips, as if about to kiss my hand, then stood at attention, a perfect specimen of the Hitler J ugend. He wore short trousers, for which he was already too old. They left exposed a good deal of sunburnt leg, covered by yellow down. The Frau Doktor told me that a play was going to be put on by the students and teachers at the Colegio Alemán. It was a Nazi play, so Kurt, for obvious reasons, had not heen asked to take part. However, he and his parents were in- vited to attend a dress rehearsal that afternoon, and the Frau Doktor sug- gested I come along. That evening when the real performance would be given, only members of the Nazi group 51 ......................... ......... ............. ..J .
